Milei Faces Abuse-of-Authority Complaints After Saying He "Decided" Cristina Kirchner Be Jailed

Both complaints move to the Comodoro Py courts with no judicial action announced.

Overview

  • In an LN+ interview, President Javier Milei said he "took the decision" that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner "vaya presa" in reference to the Vialidad case.
  • Attorney Gregorio Dalbón filed a criminal complaint for abuse of authority under Article 248 of the Penal Code and requested Milei’s formal questioning in an indagatoria.
  • Lawyer Valeria Carreras submitted a separate complaint alleging executive intrusion into the judiciary.
  • The filings will be processed in the Comodoro Py federal courts in Buenos Aires, and judges have not yet taken public procedural steps.
  • The complainants frame the remarks as evidence of lawfare and a breach of judicial independence, while Article 248 carries penalties of one to two years in prison plus special disqualification.
